WEAVING Calves.

Jno. NJ. Stohl in Western Plowman
says:
To wean the calf when it is a week
old is usually thought to be more troub-
lie than to allow it to suck the COW,
and weaving is justified only because
it is considered better for COW and calf;
but | would rather wean a calf when
it is six days old than when it is six
weeks or three months old; and l would
rather draw all four teats dry than
draw two while the calf is pulling and
butting away on the other side. The
man who has any religion TO lose. and
is not as firmly grounded as Job, would
better wean the calf when it is one
week old.

There was q man, IL l. said one time
Who went astrEy in his youthful prime.
Can the blood keep cool and the heart keep
quiet.
When the blood is = river that's running riot2
And boys will be boys, the old folks say.

he sinner reformed and the preacher told
Of the prOdigai son " no came back 20 the fold,
And Christian people threw open the door
With a warmer welcome than ever before.
Wealth and power were his 90 command,
And spotless woman gave him her hand.
And the world Strewed their pathway with
flowers al loom.
Crying God 1less the lady and God bless the
Groom.
There was maiden went astray
In the golden dawn of her iifes young day:
She had more passion and heart than head,
And she followed bliudly where fond love led
And love unchecked Is a dangerous guide,
To wander at viii by fair giIFs side.
The women repented and turned from sin,
But no door opened 20 let her in:
The preacher prayed that she might be for

But told her 20 look for mercy in heaven,
For this is the law Of earth we know
That the woman is scorned while the man

A brave man welded her after ALL
But the world said frowning. I'VE shall not

ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION.
The Day Observed at Eureka Ranch

A few days ago Ben G Rich, whose
ranch is down by Big creek. sent invita-
tons to his friends and neighbors to
plant at least two trees for each member
of their families, Tor if single men, two
for themselves and two for their best
girl) for memorial trees; and then to
come and spend the evening at bis home,
report progress, and have good time.
In consequence of this, house full of
middle-aged and young folks gathered
there about P. M. The following pro-
gram was carried out:
Music and dancing till 10P.M
Then the whole party gathered around
great excavation previously made, and
assisted in planting splendid cotton
wood tree, about fifteen feet in height.
Each member of the party took turns at
the shovels, ladies and gentlemen alike.
After pouring on half a barrel of water,
and putting every thing in good shape
for a permanent growth, the tree was ded-
icated to Robert Lincoln, and the party
adjourned to the house for refreshments,
of which an abundance had been provi-
ded by Mrs. Rich.

selves, report was made by each person
of the kind and number of trees planted:

Bats Are Not Birds.

There are few animals about which
so many superstitions have been believed
from very early times, as the bat, and
even now the creatures are by many re-
garded with dread. When one of them
flies into room at night, all hands give
chase, and the useful little insect hunter
is too often killed. Our bats are quite
harmless, and the stories of blood suck
ing, told of those in South America,
are only partly true. Our bats, of which
we have about half a dozen, are all
small, being but few inches in length,
but there are those in the East Indies,
the wings of which have spread of
four feet. These monsters are fruit eat
ers, and do not attack animals at all.
The early naturalists classed the bats
with the birds, but their ability to fly is
the only thing they have in common
with birds. They only differ from other
animals in their having long fingers,
over which a thin skin is stretched,
reaching to the hind feet and tail; this
forms the wing, and usually ends in a
hook by which the animals can suspend
themselves. The hinder feet are sup
piled with stout claws, by which they
also hang when at rest. The eyes of the
bat are so small and hidden by hair, that
it was at one time supposed that they
had no eyes, and ''as blind as bath is
proyerb still in use. However it may
be as to their sight, their senses of smell
and hearing are very acute. Some
species of bats, like the Long cared Bat
Of Europe, have enormous ears, and
some species have curious leafy append
ages TO their nose, which are thought to
aid the sense of smell.
Bats are nocturnal in their habits, fly
ing at night with great rapidity, and
whirlng about with the ease of a bird,
in their chase after night flying insects,
of which they consume great numbers.
In the day time, they secrete themselves
in old buildings, in caves, in hollow
trees, and such places. In Texas there
are a number of churches which, when
that State belonged to Mexico, were
built by the missionaries among the In
dians. These are now deserted, and
more or less in ruins. We visited one OF
these buildings that had been taken pos
| session of by the bats, which hung to
the timbers Of the open-work roof, and
wherever they could get a foot hold, in
myriads. Upon being disturbed, they
would set up a tremendous chattering,
and, although it was daytime, would fly
about our heads in swarms. Some idea
of their great numbers may be formed
| from the fact that their droppings GOV
cred the floor to a depth of three or foul
| feet.-AmeFicdn .1gricuituFist.

HEALTH HINTS.

After six months an infant should be
fed with animal broths and the Juice
squeezed from rare pieces of beef or NUT.
ton, in addition to milk. No starchy
food of any kind should be given until
the child begins to walk, and then bread
may be given with caution.
One of the most common causes of
stomach and bowel troubles in children is
the common custom of feeding very
young children potatoes, rice and bread
before their digestive apparatus is capa.
able of digesting these starchy ingredi-
ents.
Buttermilk is now recommended for
the cure of sallowness produced in the
complexion by advancing age. 1t has
long been popular for the prevention and
cure of freckles and other injuries to the
skin caused by wind and sun.
To remove tan and sunburn: Take
the white of an egg and the juice of one
lemon, and put in a stout coffee-cup.
Place on the stove half an hour, with
the heat Just sufficient to cook without
injury to the cup, and stir occasionally.
Apply at night to the hands, face, and
neck for about week, and the change
il quite wonderful. 1t is soft and cool
ing in its effects.
